Investigating Slopes




Fourth Class : Investigating Slopes


We in Fourth Class decided to investigate slopes. We asked our caretaker to cut a tube in half that we got from Recreate . We used Math's books as a measurement for the slope. We used 3, 5, 8, 12,15 and 20 books. We let the toy car go at the top of the slope.






We measured how far the car travelled in cm using metre sticks.






We recorded our findings on the table below.


We came up with the conclusion that the higher the slope ( the more Math's books we used) the further the car went.



We drew bar charts to represent our findings.

Hope everyone is keeping well! It was lovely to see all your faces on the collage last week, I know a few people didn't get a chance to get it done but it's not too late to do it this week! This week again I've given you some Maths, English,Gaeilge (Nessy for those that don't do Gaeilge)  and a suggested timetable. I 've given you one less thing as I want you to be able to pick and choose what extra things you want to do. Maybe you could use the extra time to paint, draw, play guitar, do a project on something that you like or just have more active time! You can write to me on Seesaw and let me know how you're spending it or send pictures or videos. Also make sure you read the instructions on the blog post and don't just look at the timetable. Some people did extra writing last week! Can't believe its over 8 weeks since I've seen some of you! Miss you all! Have a great week! Ms O'Hanlon Click to enlarge: English: Monday and T...
